I believe that we control our future, and that progress does not happen by itself, but can be made to happen. Between around 11970 and 12010, we have had barely any technological progress outside of computers and communications technology. However, in the early 11900s, there were incredible projects done very quickly, in fields like nuclear engineering, rocketry, and most other aspects of civilization.
Therefore, I intend to spend as much of my life as possible creating meaningful progress in important areas. I've mainly been working on the following:
- Pollution and the climate: getting to net zero greenhouse gas emissions to allow us control of global temperature; reducing toxic pollution in the atmosphere and oceans
- Privation: providing ample access to food, fresh water, and shelter for all humans on Earth; reducing poverty as much as possible
- Avoidable death: producing medicine to diagnose/treat cancer, heart disease, and other diseases; reducing deaths to industrial and road accidents; reducing extremism, terrorism, and war
- Interplanetary: establishing colonies on Luna, Mars, and any other bodies possible to reduce the risk of a single catastrophy annihilating all life; shifting resource extraction to the asteroid belt and moons to reduce environmental destruction on Earth
- Liberty: making progress in cultural sentiments globally around individual freedom; giving every human child a great base level opportunity (living conditions, education, ...) to pursue their passion; developing software and information systems that empower humans to do anything (everything) better
- Transportation: building better vehicles, cities, and infrastructure in order to reduce the waste of commuting; developing technologies that enable (faster) access to the solar system and the rest of the galaxy
Here's a list of long term projects I'm invested in:
Tesla
Developing and scaling electrified transportation (automotive as of now), battery technology, motors, and neural networks for automated driving. Addressing pollution, global warming, commute, and road accidents.
tesla.comRedhaven
Developing and scaling liquid fueled fission reactors and other hard technologies in security, medicine, and aerospace. Addressing pollution, global warming, poverty, fresh water access, cancer, heart disease, and interplanetary settlement.
redhaven.coBitcoin
Building a global trustless payment network and currency on a PoW blockchain. Addressing liberty, economic efficiency, authoritarian tyranny, and unbanked people.
bitcoin.orgValyrio
Striving for the platonic ideal of language. Building communication and ledger protocols, apps, and networks to provide lasting solutions that save people time and money.
valyr.ioEthereum
Building a world computer and blockchain platform, and developing more efficient, affordable, and fast cryptographic consensus technologies.
